The American consul at Montesideo has
just resigned because his salary was INSULT
Gent to support him, living economically.
1t is melancholy fact that our consular SER
vice is for the most part underpaid, and for
that reason is Of much less value to us than
1t otherwise would be- The kind of men
that should ill these places cannot be had
for $500 or $1,000 year, which is the average
price, The duties Of these offices are re-
sponsible and require much ability and ex-
perienee to perform them properly. The
effect of our present niggardly policy is to
fill these places with men. many of whom
are either incapable or dishonest.

1t would seem to be the duty of the gov
eminent to make an investigation into the
conduct of Mr. Herbert f. Beecher, special
agent of the treasury, in Oregon. The
charges against him are very serious, and
they appear to be made by responsible par
ties, who stand ready and anxious to back
them up with evidence. 1t is alleged that he
has been in collision with smugglers and has
made a great deal of money in that way; and
there are insinuations that still more ugly
accusations may be made against him with
out stretching the truth. 1t will be recol-
lected that Mr.. Beecher was first appointed
collector at Puget Sound, but ON account Of
serious charges against him which he could
not satisfactorily clear up the. Senate re-
fused TO confirm him. Then the President
appointed him special agent of the treasury.
So the President is solely responsible for
him.

The coercion bill has passed both Houses
OF Parliament and received royal assent 1t
is therefore law and the Salisbury govern
ment can proceed to put it in force whenever
1t sees fit. The measure was deprived of
some of its worst features In passing through
the House. Its very worst clause. the one
that allowed the transfer of criminal trials
from Ireland to England, was stricken out
1t is still harsh measure, however, and,
executed in the spirit in which the Salisbury
government will be likely to execute 1t, may
become an engine of great oppression to the,
people Of Ireland. That it will accomplish
the ostensible purpose fsf~which it was
passed. that OF permanently pacifying Ire
land nobody believes. Just such measures
nave peesn tried over and over again, and
tnel. effect has been only temporary.

The relations between the Tories and their
allies, the Liberal-Unionists, are becoming
strained. They would have snapped the 9TH
or day, had not Lord Salisbury adopted Mr..
Chamberlain's notifications of the land bill.
But the difficulty is only temporarily bridged
over. The Tories are dissatisfied with Sails
bury's concessions, and the next time the
Liberal-Unionists demand anything they are
likely to be met with determined refusal.
The turn of the tide in favor of Mr. Glad
stone, as indicated by the recent elections,
is having, too, destructive effect upon the
coalition, inasmuch as it is proving that the
Liberal-Unionists have brought no popular
strength to the Tory government.

Gov. Bodwelps earnest purpose to do what
helcan towards the thorough enforcement of
the liquor law is again signifed by his two
letters, one to the county attorneys and the
other to the sheriffs of the State, calling their
attention to certain paragraphs in the Re-
vised Statutes bearing on their duties. The
clear inference from the letters is that the
governor thinks these officers have not, all of
them, been doing their full duty. No doubt
all of them have moi, but all the blame for
the lax enforcement Of the liquor law in GER
tain sections in the State, cannot fairly be
put on the officers. Public sentiment is a
good deal at fault. The officers are given no
assistance, but on the contrary obstacles are
thrown in their way.
